Orchestra was conductor; 1978-1993 - Eduardo Ostergren was conductor and originator of "Stars and Stripes", an expanded education program with "Symphony
on the Go", Quartet in Schools, began paying musicians, and formation of LSO Foundation in 1982; and 1993 - present - Anne Harrigan has been conductor and
accomplished raising the level of the orchestra's performance and musician compensation, particularly in-town musicians by 650%, leveled the compensation
between in-town and out-of-town (Chicago and Indianapolis), focused on strategic arts partnerships and broadening the types of artists presented, scholarships, and
future plans to include an alliance with a newly formed youth orchestra and cable television production of Lollipop Concert. Ms. Harrigan closed by recognizing several
Rotarians who have been extremely prominent in the success of the LSO and LSO Foundation.
